New Tork, Dec. 23. Big champions
and little champions will pound the
boards at Madison Square Garden next
Tuesday and Wednesday night, and be
fore the last faint rumblings have died
away there will be proclaimed the na
tional indoor kings of the United States.
The Juniors will fight It out on Tuesday
and the seniors on Wednesday.
In many ways this will be the most
Important athletic event of the winter
"off" season. First, of course, Is the
consideration that it will decide, the
national supremacy of Indoor stars. Sec
ondly it will provide a reliable standard
for speculation as to the men who will
represent America at Stockholm next
summer In the Olympic games.
As was predicted by the writer sev
eral weeks ago, when the program for
the Indoor "champB" was first an
nounced, this banner occasion of the
winter season will show in competition
together more first caliber men than
ever before clashed beneath a roof.
It has generally been the case with
Indoor championships in the past that
practically all the entrants were the
members of clubs in Greater New York.
However, this year there are several top
1 notch westerners entered, and the New
! England states have a large representa
tion. The eastern colleges nave aiso
supplied a groodly nuYnber of aspirants
for indoor honors, and the tilt between
Harvard, Yale and Cornell shining
lights for the precious medals will be
well worth watching.
Many of the Intercollegiate stars will
be eligible for the Junior events, but the
majority of them will stay out of these
so as to be In prime fettle for the more
strenuous tests on the following even
ing. While the Junior events doubtless
will produce some excellent contests and
records, some few events possibly being
run In better time than by the seniors,
the big Interest Is naturally crystallized
in the competitions that are unlimited
as to eligibility.
Contests Bitterly Toaffht.
With the exception of a few of the
so called "eccentric" field events, in
which there are only a few well known
performers, every contest on the card
will be bitterly fought, from the short
est dash all the way up to the five mile
run.
The sprints will bring together a re
markable qurrtet In Alvah Meyer of the
Irish-American A. C. of New York; Jim
Rosenberger of the same outfit: Reggie
Foster, the former Harvard track cap
tain, and Richard Craig, the Michigan

The middle distances will show a won

Terwilllger and Valentine of New York,
and Oscar Hedlund, the Boston strlder.
Several of these will pit their prowess
against John Paul Jones of Cornell, In
the half mile. It Is almost a certainty
that Jones will be extended to smash
one or both of the Indoor records.
In the hurdles there are half a dozen
collegiate cracks, as well as the Eller
brothers of New York. The Jumps will
be fought out by Moffatt of Harvard,
and Gothamltes Grumpelt, Adams,
Fielding. Krlckson Ahearn and Oler.
The weights will bo easy for the New
Yorkers, McGrath, Kalsh, D4ncan and

Probably the most "significant" event
of the entire meet will be the five mile

champion, will meet Berna of Cornell,
and Lewis Tewanima, the Carlisle In

Marathon outdoor. This Is certain to be
a corking nice, as no two of the "big
three" have ever clashed before.
Tendon Gives Way,
Speaking of Tewanima In the light of
a Marathon runner recalls his experi
ence In the last Olympic Marathon, the
one at London. In that race he was
looked upon as the bestbet of the Amer
ican contingent, although he had been
running but a few months. Accord
ingly Joe Forshaw of St. Louis, the vet
eran of the team, who had finished
eighth in the Olympic classic at Athens,
was given the Job of acting as Tewani
ma's running mate, to pace him and
give him much needed advice along the
way.
At tho twelfh mile, when Tewanima
was sixth place, the "Achilles tendon on
his right heel gave way. Forshaw did
the best he could to fix up the little In
dian, but It was to no avail. Finally,
after all but three of the 200 entrants
had passed by, Forshaw decided to give
up his efforts with Tewanima, whom
he helped Into one of the emergency au
tomobiles. Joe then sel sau ior mo

EHRLT FOOTBALL
Boy Named Hugh Declared
Patron Saint of Game in
the Year 1520.
London, Dec. 2S. Footballers may be
Interested In the following piece of
folklore about the game. Although It
Is not generally known, football has a
patron saint.
In 1620 a boy named Hugh, who was
one of the champions of his day had
tho misfortune to kick a ball through
tho window of a Jew's house. Whether
the ball struck tho man or any mem
ber of hts family Is not known, but cer
tain it Is he was very much incensed
about the affair.
Determined on revenge, he enticed
the unsuspecting Hugh Into his home
and plunged a knife In the youth's back.
The English people were very much
cut up about the loss of their cham
pion, albeit not as much : so as Huglf!
They severely punished his slayer, made
the young football player a saint and
gave him a big and expensive funeral.
They even wrote verses; bad verses,
but still verses, describing the virtues
of a football player.
Football was forbidden In Elisabeth's
reign under pain of imprisonment, the
reason being the extreme brutality of
the game, we are told. And James I
debarred "all rough and violent exer
cises like football", from his court. In
spite, however, of the prohibition
against the game, the London appren
tices often kicked a football about the
streets to keep themselves warm in
winter, and it is on record that In the
severe frost of 1665 the London streets
were "full of football." ....
Baltimore Is talking of constructing
a one third mile modern motordome.
CHAMPION
SLAIN
By James Docker 11.
New York, Dee. (21. The reports
which reach, here from San Franctsco
that there is a good chance for the re
vival of racing in California have
caused much pleasure in racinglrclcs.
It is felt if California should remove
the embargo on racing that other states
may follow and there will be a revival
of the game.
Under the pew California plan I
understand it is proposed to have the
legislature legalize a state racing com
mission that will supervise the sport
under partl-mituel betting. This com
mission will be patterned after the one
in Kentucky, That racing commission
has successfully handled the sport In
the Blue Grass state. It Is though,
with a few minor changes to better
the conditions In California, that such
a commission will do much to rehabili
tate the sport on the Pacific coast. The
commission will, it Is planned, be com
posed of three men appointed by the
governor, who will have absolute au
thority in regulating the - number of
meetings, dictating where they shall be
held and how long they shall continue,
besides controlling the betting.
Mutual Batting; System.
A mutual betting system similar to
the one which has proved so successful
In Argentina and in Europe will be
asked. This will be controlled by the
racing commission, and will consist of
win and show pools, with tickets rang
ing from $2 to $20. A commission of
6 or 10 per cent, as found necessary,
could be taken from all pools to sus
tain the commission and officials, an!
the commissioners could stipulate the
amount of the purses to be raced for.
Primarily the move was started for
the purpose of obtaining a SO or 40 day
meeting in San Franctsco during the
Panama Pacific International exposition,
although' the real object Is to restore
the once popular sport to its own in
California. Providing that, the plans
meet with favor at the hands of the
lawmakers, the fosterers of the scheme
will ask that the game, be given a thor
ough trial before the proposed fair
meeting in 1915.
If California succeeds in carrying
through this plan It la practically cer
tain that a strong effort will be made
to follow the lead in New York.
Glad to SCava Turfmen.
Another gratifying piece of hews
comes from Columbia, S. C. Quick to
realise the advantages that this city
has derived by tho presence of the rac
ing folk, many members of the chamber
of commerce met to protest against any
Interference with the racing at the fair
grounds. They made it known that
they were glad of the opportunity to
entertain the racing people, and also
showed the many benefits that the
hotels, merchants, restaurants and
boarding houses were reaping as a re
sult of the presence here of the well
dressed and well behaved racing men
and their families.
Even those who were hostile to rac
ing had to admit that the turfmen as
a whole who are in evidence here are
decidedly of an opposite class to what
was expected a,nd they have gained
friends readily. Pons, general manager
of the Charletson track, announced
positively that the development In Co
lumbia would have absolutely no bear
ing on Charleston and that progress
toward the completion of the track, to
have it in readiness for the opening
January 10 would not be halted. Mr.
Pons anticipates no interference at
Charleston and will' continue with plans
for that meeting as if nothing had
cropped out here to mar the secrentty
of the sport.
Beeetpta Shew Interest.
It may be that the day of the race
horse is past but the returns from the
GILLIAM COUNTY HIGH
The claim of the lone high school to
the football championship of Gilliam
and Morrow counties is being disputed
by the Gilliam county high school at
Condon. Principal Bond of the Gillian)
county school has forwarded the follow
ing communication to The Journal:
Condon, Or., Dec. 19. Sporting Edi
tor of The Journal The claim of the
lone high school to the football cham
pionship of Gilliam and Morrow coun
ties has created some surprise here. It
is bssed on nothing less, than an unwar
ranted revision and juggling of the score
made in their game with this school,
deliberately counting out one touchdown
made by our team on the ground that
the man with tha ball was pushed
through the line for the last three yards
by his team mates. There was no evi
dence to sustain this contention, and
the decision of the referee was in favor
of this high school. The official score
of the game was 12 to 8 In favor of the
Gilliam county high school. We do not
care to enter into any acrimonious dis-

during the Past 14 years,; or since the

, What this one Important sale of the
year has meant to the trotting horse
breeding industry of America and the
market value of the- strictly trotting

when it is stated that during the 14

a total of 11,929' horses have, passed
through this one sale and for which the,,
buyers have paid the big sum of $5,-.

The figures show that an average of
9363,600 has been distributed annually
among the owners and breeders, 'while
every horse has averaged 9420 apiece
for 14 years. .. ,
During the same period the manage
ment of the Old Glory has held the
same number of sales at the Garden
under the name of Mid-Winter sales, 18
In Boston and Cleveland and one at th

Is not the leust doubt but they have'
doubled up the Old Glory, showing that
close to 910,000,000 worth of trottini?
horses have been sold in open market
In the 14 years at an average of close'
to $400 per head.
To Froduce Saddlers.
Fred Pabst, who came from a carN
bou hunt In Canada, to attend the re
cent national horse show here, an
nounced his intention of crossing the
hackney and thoroughbred to produce
saddle horses.
The young Wisconsin breeder was on
the lookout for a racing stallion with
substance enough for this purpose. If:
he finds one to suit him he will, ha
says, mate many of hla hackney mares
with the horse. ,
Pabst. It will be remembered, bought
tho large stud of Eben D. Jordan a few
years ago, getting the dam of Lady Dil
hani and many other noted mares of thn
hackney breed. He has Just sold a
hackney harness geldtng out of. his stud
for $2500.
Watched With Interest.
The proposed experiment of crossing
the hackney with the thoroughbred to
produce saddle horses will be watched
with interest. Judging from some . of
the awards at the horse show the thor- :
oughbred is in high favor in high places
as a riding horse, and though he has no
place in the market, dealers recognise
the fact that he poseeses some points of
the perfect saddle horse.
R. T. C. the undefeated trotter of
1911, with a trifle over $21,000 as his
spoils of the season's campaign, is the
sensational if not the greatest horse be
tween the shafts of the sulky that Am
erica has ever produced. From a plain
looklng gelding with a record of 2.14"a
over a half-mile track in his young
days he has mounted thV ladder of tam
until in his ninth year he has-attained a
mile in 2.06.
R. T. C. was foaled in Newcastle coun
ty. Del, He was bred by D. M. Cochran
of Mlddletown, Del. After R. T. C. had
raced well for him on the half-mile
tracks he sent the trotter to the McCoy
course at Kirkwood, and it was because
of the high opinion Dr. McCoy formed
of R. T. C. that Tom Murphy bought tha
gelding "sight unseene" last fall. What
the trotter did this season did not in the
least surprise Dr. McCoy. -
BUD SHARPE HAD GOOD
RECORD WITH BUFFALO
Bud Sharpe, who will manage : the
Oakland team and play first base for
that club during the 1912 campaign,
had a good record with the Buffalo club.
Sharpe played in 100 games and fielded
.992, making but seven errors, and
handling 811 putouts and 66 assists.
Sharpe is a good batter. Last seabon
with the Bisons he managed to stick
.281, mitklng 106 bingles In 877 trip
to the rubber. He scored 47 runs and
stole 17 bases.
With Sharpe coming west next season.
